onscreen from a palette of 4096 colors. The upper range of 640 x
480 makes for excellent graphics, color CAD, or color desktop, while
the 320x480 mode (with 256 colors onscreen) provides top-quality
graphics.

High-quality monitors coupled with the unprecendented func-
tions of RAM-enhanced video power will bring your pulse rate up
every time you boot your Atari TT030.

The Sound of Personal Power

Atari computers with TOS and built-in MIDI, have been topping
the charts in the music industry. Listed in the Atari fan club as
enthusiastic equipment users are Madonna, Mick Fleetwood,
The Pointer Sisters, Jean Michel Jarre, Tangerine Dream, Ultravox,
The Beach Boys, Peter Gabriel, Oscar winner Dave Grusin, Debbie
Gibson, The Moody Blues, and on and on.

The TT's DMA sound engine can play back stereo digital
samples at rates up to 50 kHz. Add to this the industry's most
sophisticated MIDI software, and the TT will keep you in the
vanguard of digitized sound production.

Personal Power with all the Right Connections

The Atari TT will excel in any environment, with other TTs or systems
from other manufacturers due to its multitude of industry-standard ports
and its IBM-compatible disk drives. The TT will be capable of running
UNIX® System V.4 with an X Window System™ graphical interface
for further compatibility in a network environment.

The connectivity of the TT is breathtaking. MIDI ports remain
an Atari standard and a parallel I/O port for printers is de riguer.
For electronic communications and networking, the TT provides

four RS-232 serial I/O ports. One serial port can be programmed for
split baud rates. Another is a programmable high speed DMA serial
port you can use to connect to printers, modems, display terminals,
and digitizing tablets.

The TT030 architecture also includes an industry standard
VMEbus. With the addition of an expansion card, the VMEbus
allows the TT to communicate with peripherals, and communica-
tions networks (such as Ethernet™). The system supports the latest
revision (C.l) of the VMEbus specification. For Atari's laser printers,
CD-ROM, or hard drives (including 44 MB removable cartridge
drives), and IBM emulators, there is an ACSI DMA channel.
Also unique to the TT030 is a cartridge port for 128K of
ROM. This slot can accommodate megabyte RAM disks,
accessory packs, the Migraph™ Hand Scanner, and Spectre
GCR™ Macintosh® emulation cartridges. Third-party
developers for Atari computers are ingenious innovators
*•_- when given such a wide spectrum of ports of
opportunity.

Power for Personal Performance

The Atari TT030 is fully equipped to handle the critical skills
you've learned on any other machine and push the edges of the
envelope of your productivity. The enhanced TOS user interface of
the TT030 coupled with the 32 MHz performance of its MC68030
and MC68882 processors combine to take you to new heights of
personal performance.

For scientific or engineering applications, the TT has the
power and speed to crunch numbers and enhance your perfor-
mance. For graphics and desktop publishing, the TT has sophis-
ticated video and CPU power as well as the software to fulfill the
broken promises of WYSIWYG on other machines.

There's one final
feature the Atari TT030

offers that no other
comparable computer/workstation

can match— value. With all of its
standard features, there's no need to hunt
for add-on cards, ports, or boards; no need
to purchase high-priced proprietary peripherals.
Whether as a standalone workstation or as the heart
of a multi-user network, the TT has the connectivity
and compatibility to fit your needs.

The Realms of Personal Power

Break away from the lockstep world of limited computing based on archi-
tectures created in the early 1980s. The Atari TT030; using the MC68030
chip from Motorola™ as it's CPU, redefines "user friendliness:' The TT's
extraordinary operating system has been created to work with megabytes
of RAM at its disposal. While other systems boast of high speed perfor-
mance, the TT™ leaves them in the dust. That's because those other
systems suffer from RAM limitations. A system with a 640K RAM limit
can only accept that much data before it has to juggle storage space to
make more room available. Juggling takes time. Not so on the Atari TT.
It zips along with no restrictions. And when you couple that with the
system's 68882 math coprocessor, you have a 32 MHz graphics
workstation that defines productivity on your terms.

Images of Personal Power

Beyond user friendliness is user comfort. And that's exactly what
you experience with the TT's high-speed video performance for
CAD, animation, and desktop publishing. With the TT, waiting time
during screen redraws is obsolete because its video subsystem is
able to access up to 10 megabytes of system memory and isn't
limited by a graphics card. The TT's total RAM capacity is expand-
able to 26 megabytes using 4 meg DRAM chips.

TOS™ the TT030's operating system, featuring windows and
drop down menus, makes every operation picture-book easy. You
can even put often-used applications and documents right on the
desktop for easy access.

To further enhance the speed of the Motorola MC68030 CPU, TOS
is built into ROM. Since 1985, the entire Sr /MEGA series has shared
the very same data format characteristics of IBM® disk drives. This means
that both systems can read one another's diskettes.

Personal Power You Can See

For the ultimate in CAD and desktop publishing, the Atari TTM195™
monitor provides paper-white 1280 x 960 resolution on a 19-inch screen.
Programs like ISD's full-featured, lightning-fast DynaCADD™ or true
WYSIWYG desktop publishing packages such as Calamus® PageStream™
and Atari's Deskfer II outperform programs that claim to be the
standards. Soft-Logik's PageStream is the POSTSCRIPT®-compatible
solution for the TT030. Calamus, possibly the hottest selling desktop
